For additional solid fabric for the borders I have used a Moda Bella Solid fabric in the colorway White. It perfectly matches the background fabric of the Children at Play collection. The solid fabric used for the back of the quilt is Robert Kaufman Kona cotton in Pearl Pink; the softest and prettiest pink.

For binding fabric I have used a red and white pin stripe. No surprises there!

Oh, and while I was at it ~ in a burst of unbridled energy and enthusiasm ~ I whipped up a matching pillow! I may have got myself a tumbler block bug (and yes, the Accuquilt fabric cutter does make is so easy to cut and piece the pieces together).

The back of the pillow features a leftover piece of Children at Play - Parade - the same as used for the large quilt border. (I have used interfacing to give this fabric some stability and extra durability). The pillow cover has a zippered back for easy insert removal and cleaning.

Oh, lordy! I almost never comment (though your work makes me SWOON) but I can't let this one pass. Using that print at the bottom is GENIUS. I never know what to do with panels like this, thank you so much for figuring it out!

Love the pillow with the border fabric and the red contrast..SEW CUTE. I'm going to do my next border like that one - great way to use scraps leftover.. Looking forward to seeing the boy quilt with that adorable line from Sarah Jane.
